I just wanted to share this quick note.
I jumped on the Spanish Notebook course when Tony introduced it to the community.
Not to learn Spanish. I'm fluent in Spanish and German. I wanted to learn Italian.
So I switched each lesson from Spanish to Italian and use it almost daily. I repeat each lesson multiple times/ days.
Then I came across this basic type of podcast. I understand 70% upto 90% with clossed captions.
Now two caviots
I speak fluent Spanish so there are a lot of similarities.
I shadow the podcasters as they speak trying to sound like them. ( Shadow is speaking and repeating what they say as they say it. It takes multiple attempts)
As Tony says all the time. It's the conversation and talking about real true things.
